1966 GMT Gilt

Hello, I'd like to share my watch with you. This watch was purchased in Hong Kong in 1967 by my father while he was on R&R during the Vietnam war. He recently gave me this watch and it almost ended up into the hands of the Rolex factory for refurbishing. Luckily, I learned of the watch's value via the internet, and halted the service immediately (it was in the evaluation phase) from the Rolex Service Center where the watch was then shipped directly to Phillip Ridley for the only service in the lifetime of the watch (Rolex confirms that it has never been in any service anywhere). I just got it back and it is now working perfectly.

Talk about a tease!! Either that or he's just letting the anticipation build for the dramatic reveal. Let's hope for that.

Not even, as this is a fake frame made by a company who built their business manufacturing "tribute" cars.
